THE RECIPES

Loaded Beef Nachos with Corn and Black Beans by @chef_daniellecambell

Nachos for dinner? Yep! Totally acceptable when they come fully loaded with seasonal vegetables! We suggest prepping all of your corn tonight by removing it from the cobs and sautéing it for a few minutes in a pan with olive oil until golden brown. You'll only need 1/4 cup tonight, but save the extra cooked kernels for pasta tomorrow. One note, be sure to save those cobs for dinner tomorrow as well.

Feedfeed Tip When making sheet pan nachos, line the sheet tray with foil for quick and easy clean up.

Feedfeed Tagliatelle with Tomatoes, Corn Infused Cream Sauce and Pesto

Remember those corn cobs you saved? Use them to infuse your cream sauce! The corn cobs pack a lot of flavor and will add a sweet corn essence to your pasta sauce.

Feedfeed Tip When working with fresh pasta, be careful to not over cook it. Once it floats to the surface, it's ready to be drained.

Roasted Vegetable Bowls with Bacon & Fried Eggs by @cookathomemom

Toss some of your favorite vegetables onto a sheet pan to roast, fry a few eggs and crisp up some bacon and you have a quick and delicious meal to feed a crowd. We like to serve this over rice for a more complete meal.

Black Bean and Quinoa Veggie Burgers with Spicy Cashew Cream by @feedtheswimmers

When prepping these easy veggie burgers, make a little extra quinoa so you can use it for tomorrow evening. If you don't have a food processor you can simply mash everything with a fork before forming into patties.

Feedfeed Tip To keep veggie burgers from falling apart when sautéing, we like to let them rest in the fridge for about 15-30 minutes to firm up before hitting the pan.

Feedfeed Tip If you have never grilled halloumi, what are you waiting for?! The flavor and texture is a cross between mozzarella and feta but it doesn't fully melt, making it perfect for grilling.

Rice Noodle and Chicken Salad with Spring Vegetables by @erica_julson_

Send your thanks to @erica_julson_ in advance because you'll be making this light and refreshing chicken salad on repeat all summer long. One note, the chicken is marinated ahead for a few hours, so be sure to plan accordingly. You can prep the marinade the night before and let the chicken sit overnight in the fridge.
